TKOPHON. 65 



superne angulatis, ultimo ventricosa; apertura brevi, labio 

 externo crenato, canali brevissimo truncato. — The shell 

 figured from the late Mr. Taylor's collection seems to ap- 

 proach Couthoy's type with sufficient nearness. 



27. subangulatus, f. 48, Sow&rby. — Testa pallida, breviter 

 fusiformis; anfractibus subquadratis, longitudinaliter plicatis, 

 spiraliter crebre liratis, superne angulatis, ultimo subventri- 

 coso; canali brevi, recto, late truncato. — A shell of simple 

 form and sculpture, not very characteristic of the genus. 



28. Dunkeri, f. 22, Krauss. — Testa brevissime fusiformis, 

 costis angulatis et liris ad costas nodosas cancellata, albida 

 vel pallide carnea nonnunquam medio anfractuum et ad 

 suturam fasciata ; anfractibus angulatis supra angulum sub- 

 declivibus, foveolatis ; apertura brevi, canali brevissimo. — 

 On the whole, this South African shell agrees better 

 with the present genus than with Murex, in which Krauss 

 placed it. 



29. crispus, f. 30, Gould. — Testa albida, angulatim sub- 

 fusiformis, spiraliter inter costas sulcata, costis crassis fim- 

 briatis approximates crispatis munita, spira elevata, anfrac- 

 tibus declivibus subangulatis ; apertura intus lirata, margine 

 crenato. — The ribs are thick and fimbriated, with crisped 

 points turned backwards. 



30. modestus, f. 55, Gould. — Testa quam T. crispus 

 angustior, magis elongata, fusca, anfractibus vix prominen- 

 tibus. — A white shell, resembling T. crispus in sculpture, 

 but narrower and with less angular whorls. 



31. subserratus, f. 32, 33, Soicerby. — Testa griseo-alba, 

 subelongato-fusiformis ; spira producta, anfractibus 6, rotundis 

 altis vel obtuse angulatis, tenuiteret irregulariter liratis, lon- 

 gitudinaliter plicatis, liris superioribus subserratis, plicis 

 versus ultimum anfractum subevanidis; apertura elongata, 

 canali subcurvo. — A pale gracefully formed shell with the 

 varices on the upper whorls slightly serrated. 



32. nucleus, f. 19, Sowerby. — Testa parva, albida, sub- 

 ovata; spira acuminata, anfractibus parvis paucis, rotundis, 

 ultimo ventricoso longitudinaliter rotunde plicato, canali 

 brevi, subtortuo. — A small white shell with no striking 

 peculiarities. 



33. pallidus, f. 20, Soiverby. — Testa T. nucleo similis, 

 sed elongata, anfractibus versus suturam tumidis. — Similar
